Go here for a fantastic set of interviews with Sammy Harkham, Rick Altergott, Daniel Clowes and Jaime Hernandez about the new Kramers Giant-Sized Annual #1.

Ladies & gents, introducing Eddie Altergott!

• Dash Shaw and Tony Millionaire are amongst the the official selections from which the the Festival International de la BD Angouleme main prizes will be drawn from at January's festival. That is very cool.

• Joey Anuff has justified the Internet's existence.

• Charles Crumb, who passed away 14 years ago, is gone but not forgotten. 

• Rudy Ray Moore is not so far removed from the realm of this blog that it would be inappropriate to lament his passing here. R.I.P., R.R.M. A tip of the fur bucket to Rick Altergott and Jim Blanchard, who first introduced me to Petey Wheatstraw: The Devil's Son-In-Law.

• Dennis the Menace cartoonist Marcus Hamilton is a thankful man. 

• Bob Levin's blog is always worth reading. 

... after all these years of reading Rick Altergott's DOOFUS, I never knew Flowertown was in Wisconsin.

Based on a true story, by Rick Altergott:

Here's some more original art that's lurking in our Art Department: Rick Altergott's painting for the cover of The Troublemakers, Gilbert Hernandez's forthcoming follow-up to his widely acclaimed graphic novel Chance in Hell, which also features a cover painting by Rick.

DOOFUS LIVES!
